Smallman Place
Strip District, Pittsburgh, PA
Status: Completed 2017
Building Type: Condominium
Area: 82,000 SF
The condo development spans five floors, integrating newly constructed and historically preserved buildings. The existing structure features large double-hung windows that enhance natural light and preserve its historic charm. In contrast, the new building offers expansive floor-to-ceiling storefront glazing, providing a modern touch and maximizing views.
​
The design prioritizes preserving historic elements, including the original heavy timber frame and rich wood floors. Restoring all former window openings on every side of the building ensures historic integrity.
The new addition contrasts with a sleek open-joint aluminum rainscreen system, improving energy efficiency and weather resistance. It features large windows, varied panel planes, and projecting and inset balconies.
​
Units range from 1,000 to over 3,200 square feet, with bright, open floor plans that blend historic preservation with modern design for a unique living experience.
